Jackson Pollock - the man who choose to hide the image
Jackson Pollock
Pollock is one of the most significant names in abstract expressionism.And to this day, he continues to be one of the most famous American artists, many of whom consider him extraordinary because of his great skills to create his paintings through painting.
Jackson Pollock is born in January 28, 1912, Cody, Wyoming, the United States, and is the youngest son in his family, before whom four other boys were born. His mother, Stella May, took him to San Diego, Texas in November 1912, when he was only ten months old. His family moved again, and Jackson Pollack eventually grew up in Arizona and Chico, California. Living in California, he enrolled in a school of applied arts in the ever-expanding Los Angeles. He was later excluded from school.
This is the second consecutive exclusion for the future world-famous artist after being expelled from another high school in 1928.

Jackson Pollock manages to get closer and explore the culture of the Indians while accompanying his father Leroy Pollock on his exploratory trips.
In 1930, Jackson decided to follow his brother Charles Pollock's path and headed for New York City, where he and Charles studied at the Art Students League Manhattan School of New York. The influence of provincial culture has faded away, and Jackson's Pollock's interests, philosophy, and ideas have changed their focus.
In 1936, Polock gradually mastered the technique of paint, which he has actively used in his art since the early 1940's.
No.5, 1948 is the most famous work of Jackson Pollock. the picture size is 2.4 meters to 1.2 meters and is an oil painting, including brown, white, gray and yellow. The paint holds the world record for the most expensive picture for 5 years after it was sold for $ 140 million at an auction by an anonymous buyer in 2006. Even today the canvas is the third most expensive in the world.
No.11, 1952 is another famous painting that Jackson Pollack creates. In 1973, the value was $ 1.3 million, which is the highest cost per cloth than American painting at that time. The painting gains additional prominence as a result of a political scandal arising from the sale of art at such a bombastic price.
No 31 is one of the greatest paintings of the artist, created with the help of special technique, the work being created in the way the canvas lies on the floor People who love the works of Jackson Pollack use this painting as a clear example of the artist's talent and extraordinary skills.
Jackson Pollack uses his unique style of painting in full, which includes the use of a canvas as an artist's territory. He demonstrates this technique at the highest level, using bold colors, personality and movement in his paintings. Along with painting, Jackson Pollack uses a dappled technician who uses the paint to make it a gentle dance on the canvas.
Shimmering Substance, 1945 by Jackson Pollock
The art of Jackson Pollock has a tremendous heritage that continues to manifest in a different way. His legendary painting No. 5, 1948, became a part of pop culture and numerous films, songs and literary works. His art plays an important role in the film Ex Machina, highlighting the question of reality and consciousness.
Jackson Pollack is based on August 11, 1956, just 44 years after he died in a car accident. Drives the car under the influence of alcohol. The flaw that he can not get rid of all his life ...
The American artist has been suffering from alcoholism. He died 44 years after a drunk crash with his car.
This is the most sad story you will ever see. In 1950, Jackson Pollock was at the top of his career. Its splashed, sprayed and outgrowed galaxies of color gain majestic beauty. From the year in question are his paintings "Lavender Fog, One: Number 31" and "Autumn Rhythm". At that moment, Pollock painted his contemporary saxophonist Charlie Parker playing in curly arabesques of free improvisations, which eventually in a magical way acquire a beautiful sense.
There is grace in this art, which disproves the radical method of its creation. Putting canvas on the ground and splashing the paint on it looks like a recipe for anarchy. But Pollock insists that his art contains no "chaos, not to be seen!"
This perfection is short-lived. Pollack is addicted to alcohol for most of his mature life. Only after marrying artist Lee Krasner, moving from New York and finding a doctor who helps him reduce his drinking, Jackson enters his golden age. But at the end of the 1950s it ended. Krasner is guilty of the premature death of the doctor whose husband has trusted so much. Pollock picks up the bottle and his paintings go to hell.
The Deep by Jackson Pollock
In 1951, Pollock, tortured and stunted in his private life, shocked and disappointed the artistic world in New York with an exposure of dull, ugly paintings in oil-black, sprayed disgustingly with a dropper and thickly brushed on a rough canvas, blurring monotone blackness. From this morass, debris of images emerges. Disobedged faces, floating breasts, tortuous opposition to male and female bodies - these paintings tell of the terrible crisis in his life. They are drunken monuments of pain and self-pity.
They are also impressive ruins, magnificent as lost cities. Pollock never left the meaningful images, even in the most abstract imagery. His early art abounds in mythology and Carl Jung archetypes.
In 1951, Pollock did not return to figurative art. He rather invented a new way of drawing, as spectacular and free as the abstract whirlpools from which it takes shape. His coarse faces look as if they were scratched by a flicker of the Frankenstein monster.
"In the lives of Americans there is no second action," says Francis Scott Fitzgerald. But in Pollock's life, it turns out he is, and very disobedient. He loses the grace of the jazz musician, but finds the maturity of the blues. In his great desperate paintings his own face contemplates the carnal sufferings in his dreams. Chaos is coming, and Pollock watches how he loses himself.
Pollock sinks into the marsh of self-destruction, he manages to tear off the weird fruit hanging from the braided trees around.
